Definition

Soil refers to the upper layer of the earth's surface, composed of a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms, in which plants grow. It is the natural medium that supports plant life by providing nutrients, water, and anchorage for roots. This term is used in everyday contexts like gardening, farming, and environmental discussions. It is distinct from other meanings like 'dirt' in a cleaning context, focusing specifically on the fertile ground for cultivation.
